lindsaylohansuesetrade 274x300 Lindsay Lohan Sues E*Trade for $100 Million. Seriously.Apparently Lindsay Lohan thinks she’s on the same level as Madonna and Oprah, and has sued E*TRADE over a commercial (watch below) depicting a baby named “Lindsay.” Oh, and she’s suing them for $100 million.

Claiming that the commercial “unlawfully encroaches on her brand,” the former Disney star turned tabloid star’s attorney said that LiLo has the same first-name only recognition as Madonna, Oprah and others…so baby “Lindsay” in the commercial is capitalizing on Lohan’s fame.

Why such a huge amount? Well, that’s how much it would cost to use Lindsay’s likeness if a commercial, of course.

“Her name was used for the commercial benefit of E-Trade and she should be compensated fairly for that,” attorney Stephanie Olvadia told E! News. “She’s very upset about it. They did not have permission nor her consent. It’s not something that she would have agreed to.”

Okaaay. So far, no word from the E*Trade camp. They’re probably too busy cracking up and enjoying the press their commercial is getting today.
